I can see the need for it. These employees are front line workers and represent the City under the constant eye of the public. They need to be made aware that anything and everything they do will be watched and scrutinized. Because if they don't then Joe public will be calling 3-1-1 to complain that his tax dollars are going to fund some young kids horsing around with a weed wacker.
If you run a private business doing landscaping you can probably afford not to have extensive orientation sessions with your employee's due to the fact that you just can them if they are not working out. This is obviously not the case at the city. Therefore, you are forced to spend a lot of time on the front end making sure they know exactly what is expected of them in the publics eye.
